It is natural for reptiles and amphibians to burrow themselves under objects like fallen logs, soil or large rocks. This is native to their hiding instincts, which is why they are always so difficult to find in the wild. Providing their domestic habitat with a hut allows them to feel secure and comfortable so they may take shelter when tired or frightened. The Zoo Med Turtle Hut is created with waterproof ceramic that mimics a natural half-log for decoration and to provide a recognizable object and shelter to your pet. This Hut is suitable for submerging underwater or above water for aquatic Turtles, Box Turtles, Land Tortoises and other aquatic and dry-land animals like newts, shy fish or other reptiles and amphibians. 6.25" x 6.50" x 2.75" 6.25" x 6.50" x 2.75"
